The office's estimates of deficits in the fiscal years 2010 through 2019 "exceed those anticipated by the administration by $2.3 trillion."

The deficits under the Obama plan would be $4.9 trillion more than the projected deficits if there were no changes in current laws and policies — what the nonpartisan budget office calls its baseline assumption....

WASHINGTON (AP) - President Barack Obama's budget would produce $9.3 trillion in deficits over the next decade, more than four times the deficits of Republican George W. Bush's presidency, congressional auditors said Friday.

The new Congressional Budget Office figures offered a far more dire outlook for Obama's budget than the new administration predicted just last month - a deficit $2.3 trillion worse. It's a prospect even the president's own budget director called unsustainable....

Horrific video of Chinese officials beating and killing its citizens.This video should be passed on and support for this atheistic religious group should be made, as the Christians should be supported in the Sudan.

However, I must point out that to say this act is wrong is to borrow from the Judeo-Christian worldview, for reincarnation teaches that these people being beat are merely reaping what they have done in a previous lifetime.The Buddha said in regards to one's working out his own karma is that each person "is an island unto himself."Interfering, then, with another’s karmic journey is a crime in Eastern thought.So when you feel the urge to stop such brutality, realize that you are going against the feelings of atheism and Buddhism/Hinduism.

This past early Monday morning (a few weeks ago) a neighbor/friend had a heart attack.He had it while asleep and when the paramedics got to him he was flat-lined.They revived him, but he lost his battle for life last night at about 10pm.

You see, in our small complex a few of us neighbors get together during the warmer days in front of our place and partake of fine food, fine wine, and fine beer; we talk about everything but poetry (except during the Cowboy Poetry Festival).Don was part of these festivities of communal living, he was a great guy and someone who kept me focused on states’ rights.You see, we had many things in common politically; he was a Libertarian at heart but knew that his vote would not affect the process unless he voted Republican.

Don was a single father, for the most part, he leaves behind a boy that looked to his dad as his rock.Good or bad, little James knew Don in the most precious way a small boy can in their arrangement.Don also leaves behind his boy’s mother who was very involved in both their lives, and will continue to be in little James life.Through a previous marriage, Don also leaves behind daughters, as well as his mother.It is almost comical that this true and tried atheist was so proud of his daughter going to the Vatican and being baptized by the Pope.It is a high honor indeed, but Don was so proud... you could see the parental “glee” come out.He sent articles, such as the following:

Feb 21, 2009 (The Modesto Bee - McClatchy-Tribune Information Services via COMTEX) -- Heidi Sierras won't be hiding colored eggs on Easter for her four children this year. Instead, the 29-year-old Ceres woman will be in Rome to be baptized by Pope Benedict XVI.

"It's hard to put into words. It's almost like I'm going to be baptized by Jesus himself," she said. "It's an incredible feeling." Each year, the pope chooses seven people representing the world's continents for the baptism service that takes place in St. Peter's Basilica on the Saturday evening before Easter Sunday.

Sierras, who worships at St. Joseph's Catholic Church in Modesto, will represent North America. About 40 people, including the Rev. Joseph Illo and Stacy Phillips, Sierras' instructor in the Catholic faith, will travel to Rome to share in her baptism and to receive Holy Communion from the pope....

He sent video links as well.This reminds me, I will miss all his emails on every topic one can imagine, from humorous videos to jokes, even the risqué.I would have no qualms in opening them up, as, I was sure they were thoroughly scanned for viruses and spyware (inside joke).I would bounce computer questions off him and he would come over to offer computer assistance whenever asked.

He was healthy, he jogged, was into martial arts, etc.I just wish I was more assertive in my pre-evangelism with him.That being said, if a person is insistent about his or her non-belief, there is only so much one like myself can do.I continued to enjoy his company and talks about politics after everyone else would pack up and go inside.He will be missed.

I ask that anyone who reads this will say a prayer for Don’s family that surrounds him, especially the precious little 10-years old boy he leaves behind.I pray that there is peace, guidance, and community in the coming together under such horrible circumstances.

Adapted quote: "Do not debate others about our movement, get off the blogs, get off the chat rooms..." We are called "Heresy Hunters," just like the Word Faith teachers who call those who judge doctrine. Underneath this video is another video of Ben Dunn and the failed attempt to witness to two Jewish young men. What a loss of an opportunity. If you watch the mannerisms of these two guys, you can tell they think these guys are a joke... I concur.

I am waiting for a reply in regards to this "miracle" from a medical doctor that goes to our church, I will post his reply when it comes.

Here is the promised correspondence with a friend who is a Professor of Medicine, well, I will let him say who he is:

I asked this question:

The question is this: what would happen to a person if they couldn't pee/urinate at all for 6-months? I know, it sounds odd, but so is the movement I am blogging about.

Hi Sean,

... with regards to your first question - if someone doesn't urinate for 6 months usually they are dead.The bottom line is - they either have a urinary outlet obstruction or their kidneys have completely failed and make no urine at all.In the former case, obstruction will lead to renal failure due to the increased back pressure on the system.Anyhow, without intervention - renal failure and inability to urinate will lead to volume overload in your entire body as well as multiple electrolye abnormalities the most common is elevated serum potassium which often leads to fatal cardiac arrhythmias.I hope this helps.

My title is "Assistant Clinical Professor of Medicine, UCLA".

UPDATE: Caution, this video has a language warning, but I couldn't pass it up (I know, its the heathen in me).
